Published in Harper’s Bazaar, Davis letter states she believes it is up to the fashion industry - which “sets the tone for society, dictating what is beautiful and acceptable” - to fix systemic racism in America.

“It is no longer acceptable for us to revel in black culture with no regard for the struggles facing the black community,” she wrote.

Davis also joined the chorus of fellow models Naomi Campbell and Leomie Anderson, calling out the lack of diversity on the runway and the lack of makeup artists trained to work with black models’ skin tones and hair types.

“It is the same systemic racism that sees beauty products for ‘black’ hair end up in a section of their own (’the ethnic aisle’), that sees black men more likely to end up dead after a police encounter than any other racial group,” she wrote.

Since posting her letter on Twitter, Davis has received support from the international Black Lives Matter movement, along with being applauded for talking about “real issues” within the fashion industry.
